so comments on the stock?
which should i introduce first? last?

Toadfish/scorpionfish: orange toadfish = beast
eel: snowflake
grouper: i like the clown grouper, but its a bit pricy and im trying to do this on a budget so if i get a grouper it will take a bit of time
trigger: def. want a black niger, was actually considering a clown for a while, but I've heard too many horror stories.
puffer: trying to decide between porcupine and dogface :/, what would you guys get?
wrasse: i wanted a lunare, but i might decide against it,
maroon clown is cool, would i be able to have a pair?, and how many damsels would I be looking at getting? 5? 10?
lionfish: still not really my taste
tangs larger: could i do a sailfin tang? (veliferum, not desjardini)they're so cool.
angels: meh

and cuc:
which would work and which wouldn't?
50 nass. snails (more? less?)
one of those huge hermits dardanus megisostosomething
and on reef central they suggested blue leg hermits, saying that after a few get eaten, the rest learn to hide during the day, and party at night lol.
conch snail?
cowrie?

Nass. snails do pretty well with most predators I had 10 in my 90 with a huma huma and they survived. The hermits took a decent hit in the beginning and I would add ten a month until I got an amount I felt comfortable with. The probably lost eight out of every ten to the trigger.

I feel like the skimmer thecanuck suggested won't be strong enough, would this one work?

btw, is there a difference in performance btwn venturi and air-driven skimmers?
